Bush taking it easy
There's an article in the Boston Globe today about George W. taking it surprisingly easy on the campaign trail lately; he doesn't seem to feel any urgency. The article speculates on reasons, but doesn't hit on the obvious one: Bush isn't bothering to make any effort to win the election because he knows he doesn't have to. The fix is in.
In the last day or two I saw a quote from Bush speaking privately (he thought) to his supporters; I thought it came from the "Without A Doubt" NYT article by Ron Suskind, but I haven't been able to find it there. Basically Bush told his followers "Don't be surprised if I look bad for a while in this campaign, until a few weeks before the election."
I wish I could find that quote...it really made it seem pretty clear that Bush knows that he can't lose, no matter what.
Of course, that could just be because he thinks he's been sent by God...but I don't think so.
